need help picking the type for 1st pirate

well i have decided to give pirate101 a try and already have a cute little pet ( 10$ crab pet )5000 crownsand membership ( naturally since your reading this )

but i need your guys/gals help to decide

my first ever pirate101 character type

ooh they all look so good

but cant decideso what should i go forbuccanear ( i am guessing this one is like the ice magic of wizard101 )musketeer ( hmm kinda balance magic like but not sure )privateer ( most likely not as this looks like moolinda woo's life magic and i just want a easier first walkthrough)swashbuckler ( fast and painful , storm like? and one of my personal favorites out of these )

and finally the withdocter ( of course its like death magic somewhat )

so who should i go for

p.s. <------ what emoticon is that? <----- and are these suppose to represent the type icons?

I was exactly like you when I decided to play pirate101, very confused on what type to pick lol. I found that most of the classes all had attractive feature. From what I see a Buccanear is sort of a combination of ice and storm, a musketeer is long range hits and I wouldn't say they really compare to a school, privateer like you said is definitively comparable to life and swashbuckler is essential storm at its core, fast and furious lol You also mentioned witch doctor which I find a fascinating school. It is comparable to death and maybe myth, this is the school I would recommend to everyone.

Me personally I was torn between swashbuckler and witch doctor, lol I decided I would create both and I think I'm happy with that

Even though I am a swashbuckler () your best first character would be a Privateer () sense they have the healing, protection powers etc., it is also good because privateers get more companions then anyone from the other classes.

The buccaneer class isn't like ice as much as I thought it would be, it was my first impression, but it really turned out to be just powerful hits without the magical powers of witchdoctors or privateers.

so, if you are looking for something easier/ less complicated, try buccaneering

Well, it really depends on your style of battle, your personality, and so many other factors.

You are pretty much right on target with the comparisons, but the characters really are very different from W101. You will get to know this as you play more.

The way I understand the icons (though One-eyed Jack can probably give you more accurate information) is:

I find I like both the swashbuckler and the privateer about equally. Buccaneers are rather lower on my like list, as are musketeers. Once she got going, I was more positive than not about the witchdoctor, but she's a bit slow to get started.

You should choose your own class based on whatever you like best:If you like a lot of damage but not a lot of health:If you like to take a hit but still have ok damage:If you like healing:If you want to hit enemies from far away with a lot of accuracy:If you want to hit enemies from far away with debuffs and side effects:

It depends on your style. Do you like to rush ahead in a fight, a 'once more into the breach, dear friends' sort of person? Then choose swashbuckler or buccaneer. Or do you prefer to hang to the back, buffing, casting spells, or laying out strategy? Then musketeer, witchdoctor, or privateer would suit you better.If you've had a secret desire to be d'Artagnan, be a light, quick fighter and prefer to take hits so as to spare your companions, then swashbuckler is the way to go. If you want a good, solid fighter - maybe not quite so flashy as a swashbuckler, but with plenty of interesting things to do as well as the ability to wear better armor, then buccaneer is the best choice. If you you like magic, then witchdoctor is definitely the best for you - you will have more magic things to do than other classes. Musketeers have a variety of ranged attacks, including sneaky traps for the enemy. Finally, while the privateer is not going to be a particularly strong fighter on her own, she brings out the best in her companions by multiple buffs and heals.

Witchdoctor Spells and far away but no close up criticals. 2.Bucceneer Strong but least companions. 3.Swashbuckler Fast Pretty strong but companions die alot as well as swashbucklers. 4.Musketeer Accuracy and far away but not very strong. 5. Privateer Healing and most conmpanions but no close up criticals and no traits as well as not very strong companions as well as privateer.

Buccaneer is kinda like fireSwashbuckler is kinda like stormPrivateer is kinda like ice and lifeMusketeer is kinda like mythAnd Witchdocter is kinda like death and balance

I'm a swashbuckler and so far I've been able to complete the game in a snap, so I'd choose swashbuckler. Privateer is also a good choice because you can make "spirit shields" later which can absorb damage (and they're very useful). Privateers can also heal and they have lots of health.

cause you can hit up to five targets (if they're in the right positions like this +, which is rare) in one spell, hit targets far away, summon minions, use buffs, and a little bit of everything else...

cause they have powerful hits, cool moves, cause extra damage over time with poison even without hitting them, and awesome weapons

cause they're great at healing and buffs. You'll be amazed what you can do when you're companions have increased accuracy, dodge, criticals, and can heal all of them at once if they're too weak. The only problem is you have to rely on just your companions since you're pretty much useless in a fight by yourself...

cause you can hit targets far away and set traps, but that's pretty much it...

cause you don't have many companions, but you do have great strength and power, which is an up side
